Getting The Most From Your Computer
4.6 million computer users are aged 50 plus and this number is set to grow as the population ages. Already two thirds of IT users over 50 say modern technology has had a positive impact on their lives.
To help older people enjoy their PCs even more, Age Concern publishes Getting the most from your Computer. It's an ideal introduction for reluctant parents.
Getting the most from your Computer, priced at £5.99, is the only up-to-date IT guide written specifically for older people. Experienced IT lecturer and author, Jackie Sherman, takes readers from their first steps in getting to know the desktop and keyboard, through to word processing, emailing, searching the internet and using spreadsheets and databases. The handbook covers all common applications.
From absolute beginners to committed surfers, this is a vital resource for all older people with an interest in computers and it will give grandparents plenty of opportunities to show their grandchildren what IT is all about.
Clear jargon-free language and step-by-step colour pictures, mirroring what PC users can expect to see on their screens, will help keep frustration to a minimum and put the older computer user in the driving seat.
Getting the Most from Your Computer and other titles by the same author are available from Age Concern Books at www.ageconcern.org.uk/bookshop or you can purchase Getting The Most From Your Computer
